Traveling Taipei with KKDAY
Taipei is one of my favorite destinations in Asia. It's so easy and convenient to go to. Filipinos don't need a VISA to enter. The food reminds me of Hong Kong but a lot cheaper. They have all cuisines but their street food is still the best. Also, the shopping selection is great. They have luxury stores and wholesale fashion markets. You only need to travel two hours to get there which is practically the same amount of time you spend inside the car when it's payday on a Friday night.
This was my second time in Taipei but I got to do so many new things. I didn't need to spend hours researching and making an itinerary. I just chose among the tours offered by KKDAY. Here are the ones I chose:
1. Taipei Taoyuan International Airport Roundtrip Transfer
First things first, book your airport transfer ahead of time. I never rely on getting an airport taxi because they charge you double the price especially if your flight arrives during peak hours. Our flight was late at night and we arrived Taipei early morning with barely any sleep. It's a good thing our driver was there waiting for us as soon as we landed. We just hopped in the car and went straight to the hotel.
2. Volando Urai Indoor Spring Spa & Resort with Set Meal
Our first day was Jacob's 26th birthday. I wanted him to spend his birthday relaxing because he has been extra stressed from work. I booked us a date in Volando Urai. Taipei is known for well known their hot springs. He didn't believe me when I said that it has many health benefits. To name a few, it improves blood circulation, reduces stress, and promotes sleep. After spending an hour in the hot spring bath, Jacob instantly felt rejuvenated. We ended the day with a delicious 5-course meal prepared by the resort.

City of Stars: Los Angeles
Visiting California wasn't in my plans for this year. It was my boyfriend's surprise Christmas gift to me. It has been eight years since I was last in the States. I was so excited to see all the new places that have popped up. I was hooked on the movie La La Land for quite some time. I made sure to go to all the landmarks I saw in the movie and of course, the highlight of my trip was to see the city of stars come to life at night.
 |
| Streets of Beverly Hills |
Our plane arrived early morning. I took a long nap and woke up after lunch. I was extremely jet lagged so it was just an easy day spent strolling around the streets of Melrose Avenue. They say that if you are lucky, you can catch celebrities shopping. The Kardashians, Justin Bieber, and a couple of others have been spotted.
 |
| The first place we ate in was in Urth Cafe because it's his favorite. They have the best matcha coffee and avocado toast |
 |
 |
| I love Melrose Avenue because you can find so many cool spots to take photos |
 |
| Got a snack at the famous Mel's Diner |
A trip to Los Angeles will be not complete without stopping by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Every month, people travel from around the world to see their one-a-kind exhibits. Don't forget to take a photo by the famous Urban Light before leaving.

4 Ways to Wear Denim in California
February to March is considered as the winter season in California. This is the coldest time of the year with temperatures ranging from 11 to 21 degrees. It would typically be warm during the day then at night, it would be freezing. Instead of bringing around a big bulky coat, I opted to stick to denim for my entire trip. Thick denim fabric keeps you warm. It is the easiest to mix and match which is perfect for long trips where you need to be creative with your outfits to save on luggage space. I have listed 4 of my favorite ways to style denim below.
1. Denim Jacket + Dress
I felt like Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana's Hoedown Throwdown pairing a denim jacket with dress. This style is very Southern in my opinion.
2. Denim Jeans + Swimsuit as a Top
Who said swimsuits can only be used at the beach? They're great with a good pair of jeans for a sexy outfit combination.
3. Dress over Denim Jeans
This was the first time I tried this outfit combination. It gives off a vintage and That 70s Show kind of vibe.
